Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 4+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.8.15.

Release cadence

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Being able to supply a live CSV URL to then be charted is something some of the more popular (as of now) chart plugins ask $149/yr for and this has it implemented with a simple add-on. As an aside, it might be nice to have the Visual editor’s button for MaxiCharts offer both CSV and Gravity Forms as options rather than only offering GF currently. Not a deal breaker, but it would be a welcome addition!

    Thanks but CSV format is not used anymore on websites for data sources : XML, JSON, etc… is used instead!
